Breaking the Satanic Chains by the Anointing

BREAKING THE SATANIC CHAINS BY THE ANOINTING

Study Text: Isaiah 61: 1 - 2

Introduction:

-       Jesus was given the anointing of the Holy Spirit without measure, and He has capacity to break every Satanic bondage, yoke, covenant and chain.

-        This same anointing is working with us today to set the captives free and to enjoy the blessings of God to the fullest. 

-       God is the mighty deliverer. He is in the business of destroying the works of the Devil and breaking both spiritual and physical chains. 

-        In the Bible, which was written for our example and enlightenment, He broke the chains of several people. 

-       A notable example is the deliverance of Paul and Silas in the prison, alongside with every other person that was locked up and chained with them in the prison. Acts 16: 25 - 28.   

-       God can not only put a stop to the oppression of the Devil, but He can  restore what the devil has killed, stolen, and destroyed. Acts 10:38, John 10:10. 

-       We shall be discussing the topic under three subheadings:

1.      The Description of Satanic Chains

2.       The Drivers of Satanic Chains

3.       The Deliverance from Satanic Chains

1.       The Descriptions of Satanic Chains

 -       Physically, chains are metal ropes or cords that are used to bind a person or a thing. Judges 15:13-14. 

-       In the same way, chains exist in the spirit realms: 

1.     They are weapons of darkness, wickedness and destruction, used to bind people in darkness in Satanic kingdom.  Isaiah 54:17. 

2.      They are weapons of the Devil, used to tie a person to his kingdom and to himself, so that the person can not fulfill the purpose of God in life.

3.       They are instruments of oppression used to keep people in continuous afflictions and bondages.

4.       They are instruments of limitation used to bind a person  spiritually to prevent progress in one area or the other of his life.  Mark 5:4, Judges 16:21.

 -       Satanic chains are used by the enemy to do a lot of evil including the following: 

1.    To detain a person against their will. 

-      When you are detained against your will, your expected progress and promotion in life  cannot manifest. 

 -       When you are tied down, you cannot be at the right place at the right time. Then, you will not able to secure a job, a marriage partner,  a helper of destiny, a good business or any good thing in life.

2.      To keep a person stagnant

-        They are used to limit you so you do not reach the height God has ordained you to. 

-      This makes people to be putting great efforts in one area or the other in life, without achieving a commensurate results. 

3. To keep people in afflictions

-        There are several afflictions that comes through Satanic chains. They can be infirmities, disabilities or demonic oppressions.

4.     To bind people in obscurity.

-       The enemy can recognise people of great glory, and bind them with chains to prevent the manifestation of their glory.

5.       They are used to enforce Satanic embargo in a person’s life. 

-       There are people that have Satanic embargo on their lives, chains are used to enforce such.

2:      The Drivers of Satanic Chains

-        There are certain factors that leads people to, and keep Satanic chains in place in their lives. Some of these include: 

1.     Curses 

-      A curse can be pronounced by people with the appropriate authority, or people with the powers of darkness, upon an unprotected person.

 2. Unbroken Covenants 

-       People may be operating under a Satanic covenant which they entered into personally, or which someone entered into on their behalves.

-       Either of these kinds may be entered into either consciously or unconsciously. Under a covenant, the life of a person is bound by the terms of the covenant, whether known or not. 

 3.       Enchantments and divination 

-       People operate under chains due to  consultations of sorcerers, psychics, false prophets, witch doctors, occult mediums, and other satanic intermediaries either by themselves, or on their behalves, or consultations by others  against them. 

 4.    Building on a  Faulty Foundation 

-        You have to deal with the foundation of every phase and activities in your life.

-       Every beginning that has something against the word of God, or has a link with the powers of darkness is a faulty foundation. 

 5. Evil Summons 

-       People are summoned to evil gatherings and evil judgements and pronouncements are made against them.  Sicknesses and insanity may also be put on them. 

-        This happens by using some Satanic control on one's spirit either in real life or in a dream.

6.      Satanic Attacks in Dreams

-          A person may suffer an attack in his dream that can bring him under the chains of the Devil.

-       Such attacks include forceful initiation in a dream, eating demonic foods in a dream, or engaging in demonic sexual relationship in a dream.

-       This causes a lot of problems in people’s lives. A lot of evil things are programmed into people’s lives through attack in the dream. 

 3.        The Deliverance from  Satanic Chains 

-       The anointing of the Holy Spirit has capacity to destroy every Satanic chain and bondage and to set the captives free irrespective of the nature or duration of the bondage. Isaiah 10:27.

-        To enjoy the liberty of the Holy Spirit, there are certain expectations from the lives of the people believing to be set free.

 1.      A new life in Christ:

-       When you surrender to Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour, you will become a child of God that is entitled to all the blessings in His kingdom, including deliverance from Satanic chains.

2.       Keep a pure heart and clean hands.

-      Confess and repent from  all known sins, both your personal sins and those of your ancestors. These are the ladders keeping evil chains in place. Psalm 107:17. 

3.      Be filled with the Holy Spirit

-        You need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit if you are not. Thereafter, you need to ask God for a new filling of the Holy Spirit continually.

4.      A life of obedience and total submission to God

-        You must consciously walk in obedience to every clear instruction from God and submit to His will at all times. James 4:7. 

5.      Engage in spiritual warfare

-        You need to challenge and resist the Devil continually by the power of the Holy Spirit, while equipping yourself with the weapons of war God has provided. Ephesians 6: 10 - 12

-      Use your spiritual weapons including prayers and fasting, and overthrow all the plans, programs and powers of darkness. 2 Corinthians 10:4.

Conclusion:

-      It is the will of God for every one that will call upon Him through the Lord Jesus to experience liberty and deliverance from Satanic bondages and chains.

-      But we must be willing to surrender to Him and live a life pleasing unto Him at all times.

-      Not only that this will ensure our experience of deliverance, but it is also necessary to maintain the liberty given to us in Christ Jesus. Galatians 5:1
